ROSS
The ROSS log retrieval process can be automated by using the Windows Task Scheduler. The
Windows Task Scheduler will execute GETLOG on a scheduled basis. To create a scheduled
GetLog task, use the Scheduled Task Wizard. Follow the steps below:
a. Open the Windows Task Scheduler by clicking Start, click All Programs, point to
Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Scheduled Tasks.
b. Click on the Add Scheduled Task item. This will open the "Scheduled Task
Wizard"
c. When prompted to select the "Windows program to run", click on Browse, and
select the GetLog.exe from its install directory.
b. Select a name for the task and scheduled period (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, etc...).
c. Set the start time, start date, and recurrence options.
d. Enter your user and name password to confirm the new task entry. This username
and password should be a valid VMS user. g) In the last step, check the "Open
advanced properties for this task ...." Option, then click Finish.
e. The last step is to add the GetLog command options to the task. In the Run text
box, go to the end of the GetLog.exe and add the desired options. The GetLog
application will be run as a scheduled task by the Windows Task Scheduler.
An alternative method to running a scheduled GetLog task is to create a batch file that calls
GetLog with the desired options. A scheduled task is created to run this batch file. This
simplifies the maintenance as only the batch file needs to be modified if they are any changes to
GetLog options.
Other alternatives would be to create a small script that would run in the background calling a
list of destination on scheduled bases.
